This page exists to make room for, and invite the participation of philosophers. There are some philosophical parts of WikiMechanics that are fuzzy and they should be addressed more completely if possible. So far, what we have here is just a jumble of notes, back-links, half-baked articles and outstanding questions. But it would sure be great to hear from the neighbors …

Since WikiMechanics presents a systematic development of physics, we have the opportunity of establishing some kind of ontological hierarchy based on an explicit account of the number of assumptions that go into producing any given theoretical result. For example, astronomical assertions should not be given as much credibility as results that are based on controlled experiments. The following domain-name has been secured to support future development in these directions.

Aristotelian and doxographic versions of Anaxagoras' philosophy designate the fundamental components in his system as ὀμοιομερῆ or 'homoiomereses'. They cite examples such as flesh, marrow and bone. The binary aspect of description seems to have been lost, or glossed over. So it might be fun to hunt for some correspondence between Aristotle's homoiomereses and composite particles where opposite seeds are combined.
